Abstract:

The article is an overview of the professional activities of the EHI Retail Institute and the European Retail Academy (Germany) in the field of food safety. According to the author, the lack of a comprehensive approach to the entire meat supply chain within the global mass distribution framework can cause serious problems, as happened in the case of British Cow Disease (BSE), which has become a threat to the food security. These problems require cross-border anti-crisis actions to track the supply of cows and beef. The study of the food supply chain specifics from the farm to the consumer as a preventive measure enables to develop a system of good agricultural practices, first for fruits and vegetables, and then to extend it to other product categories. The introduction of this system led to the development of the university network – a communication platform for hybrid / digital learning along with the interdisciplinary approach to the food production and processing.
